    Stay tuned for more of the shittiest gamers you've ever seen show off their mad Nintendo World Championship skillz. I'd have been ashamed if I was a joke of a gamer that everyone last year was, the two that reached the finals though,, the ones who played Super Mario Maker? That's the only game they showed even a semblance of skill in, the rest of the games it's like they never even touched a controller before. And Nintendo fanboys wonder why people call them out saying they play nothing but Mario games.

    A bit disappointed they didn't just call it the Mario Kart Championships 2017, but maybe they thought the old name had more marketing power.

    Qualifiers will use Mario Kart 7? So basically it's pure luck as to whether you're in or not.

    Unless this new championships has people playing NES or SNES games, I'm not interested.
